The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising its unique art style and beautiful visuals, particularly in the steampunk genre, while others criticize it for being unpleasing and reminiscent of its mobile origins. Users highlight the improved graphical quality over the mobile version, but some express frustration with confusing technical specifications and the overall lack of depth in the graphics compared to PC standards. Overall, the game features a blend of appealing artwork and smooth performance, but opinions vary widely on its graphical execution.
- “Great flying simulator game - first of all I was surprised with the graphics, that are not only done properly, work smoothly, but are kept in steampunk style - I can say this is great design, and nothing to add to it.”
- “The art style is superb and conveys the unique world of floating islands very nicely, and it's accompanied with very nice, chill music.”
- “If you like steampunk or beautiful graphics, you should buy this one!”
- “Honestly, it's a mundane, graphically unpleasing game.”
- “So the game shows its mobile port roots in terms of both graphics and grind.”

The game's story is described as interesting but ultimately lacking depth, with some players finding it threadbare and poorly translated. While the narrative features engaging elements like missions and character interactions, the storytelling is criticized for being lazy and intrusive, often relying on simplistic prompts. Overall, the art and music enhance the experience, but the execution of the story leaves much to be desired.
- “Everything seems to be worked out properly - a plot, a story, heroes, enemies, power-ups, obstacles - definitely recommend - enjoyed playing and will play more.”
- “For a ship to recover its HP after a mission, but don’t worry, with some premium currency we’ll have ‘er up and runnin’ in no time!”
- “+ a good story where you begin as a mailman, and end up finding yourself fleeing from pirates, and having wild adventures.”
- “It's kind of like a runner except it's mission-based as opposed to endless and it has a story, though it's pretty threadbare and also poorly translated.”
- “- there's a lack of decent storytelling (all text, all in weird prompts)”
- “Story: might as well be none, in a forced cinematic you literally bump into an airship and there's just a captain and no crew apparently who's like 'oh you're going to this place let me lead you!' and then is like 'my engine's broken' and I immediately stopped caring.”

The gameplay is characterized by a simple control scheme using WASD or arrow keys, offering smooth 60fps performance but suffers from a slow pace and repetitiveness that can lead to a lack of engagement. While it features creative elements, the overall experience is marred by poorly designed enemies and minimal challenge, making it feel more like a mobile free-to-play title. Players can complete the game in a few hours, but the slow mechanics and limited depth may leave some feeling uninspired.
- “The gameplay is pretty creative, but the gameplay is just too slow.”
- “This is a game that clearly has free-to-play roots from mobile as some mechanics like timers are still in this (though made so fast, they're utterly pointless) but there are no in-game purchases whatsoever and you're given plenty of currency and can finish the entire 3-4 hour adventure in one sitting if you want.”
- “Smooth 60fps gameplay & responsive controls.”
- “Steer your ship, avoid dangers, and overall fall asleep during gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is pretty creative, but it is just too slow.”
